Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ... such as how stiff or squishy a sample is. Image resolution depends on the sharpness of the tip. “Imagine, if you are to ...

[Andres] is working with an Atomic Force Microscope, a device that drags a small needle across a surface to produce an image with incredible resolution. The AFM can produce native .STL files ...

There is another way to investigate the domain of the very small: an atomic force microscope ... eventually rendering an image on a display. [whoand] is using a laser diode and pickup unit ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Using a deep neural network and statistical analyses of atomic force microscopy images of individual RNA molecules enables the mapping of RNA conformational space in solution. HORNET, a method ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

The final result is a computer model with atomic species and coordinates, rather than an image in the conventional sense Once again in contrast to light microscopy, where total elimination of ...

The tip's position is meticulously adjusted using piezoelectric controls to maintain a constant tunneling current, allowing the device to image surfaces with atomic precision. Scanning Tunneling ...
